Once to the boil add the remaining ingredients and leave to simmer for 2 minutesTo kill the crab, turn it over and lift the small, pointed flap to expose a small, indented hole. Using a sharp pointed object like a stiff boning knife or even a screwdriver push down through the hole until you hit the other side of the top shell. The crab will now be dead and ready to go into the pan.Return the simmering pan to the boil and place the crab into the pan and cook for 8-9 minutes for a 1kg crab and adjust the time according to size i.e. 2kg crab cooks for 16-18 minutes.Remove the crab from the boiling water and leave in a colander to cool until room temperature.To pick the crab meat, put the crab on its back and remove all the legs and the two claws, now use your two thumbs to push up the main central body known as the purse. On the underside of the body, you need to remove the gills also known as the dead man’s fingers and discard. You can now remove the white meat from the body using a crab pick or skewer and the legs and claws by using a hammer or rolling pin to crack the shells. Once all the white meat is picked use your fingers to feel through the meat for any shell.Use a teaspoon to scrape out the brown meat from inside the corners of the main brown shellYour crab meat should be refrigerated until needed and eaten as fresh as possible within two days of cooking and picking. Ingredients100g fresh white crab meat200g dried squid ink linguine pasta or fresh squid ink pasta85ml extra virgin olive oil1 red chilli de seeded and sliced thin80g pine nuts1 clove garlic sliced thinly1 lemon10 cherry tomatoes cut into halves50g fresh rocket20g fresh chopped flat leaf parsley50g Parmesan for grating1 pinch chilli flakesCornish sea salt flakes MethodStart to cook the pasta in well-seasoned water until just cookedWarm a large non-stick pan and start to toast the pine nuts until golden in colour, then reduce the heat slightly and add the olive oilAdd the chilli, garlic, and chilli flakes to the warm oil and start to cook out being...

Turn the heat down if neededRemove the steak from the pan and place directly onto a shelve or a wire rack you can place into the ovenCook the steak in the oven making sure to turn the beef over onto the opposite side every 3 minutes, this allows even cooking through the meat, repeat this process for about 15-18 minutes or using a food thermometer the core temperature should be about 50c which will be a blushing pink/medium which I think is best for rib eye.Remove the steak from the oven and leave to rest on a rack at room temperature for 20 minutesIf the steak has cooled too much re warm in the oven and then carve and enjoy with the triple cooked chips Hosted on Acast.
